Configuring MCT
20
Syntax: [no] port-name <text>
The <text> variable is an alphanumeric string. The name can be up to 255 characters long and can
include blank spaces. You must not use quotation marks (“) around the string even if the string,
contains blank spaces.
Adding a VE interface
To add a VE interface and configure an IP address for the interface, enter commands such as the
following.
BigIron RX(config)# interface ve 100
BigIron RX(config-vif-100)# ip address 1.1.1.1/24
Syntax: [no] interface [ve <ve-id>]
The ve <ve-id> parameter specifies a VE interface ID.
Syntax: [no] ip address <ip-addr> <ip-mask>
The <ip-addr> variable specifies the IP address of the VE interface.
The <ip-mask> variable specifies the subnet mask of the VE interface.
Configuring the cluster operation mode
To configure the cluster operation mode for the MCT scenario shown in Figure 93 , perform the
following steps.
1. Configure one cluster ID or name on the device so that all the route-reflector clients can
become the members of the cluster. To configure a device with cluster ID 1, enter the following
command.
BigIron RX(config)# cluster TOR 1
Syntax: [no] cluster <cluster-name> <cluster-id>
The <cluster-name> variable specifies the cluster name and can be up to 64 characters long.
The <cluster-id> variable specifies the cluster ID and can be from 1 through 65535.
2. Configure a local RBridge ID for the cluster. The RBridge ID is used by the peer to communicate
with the cluster node and to define CCEPs. The RBridge ID must be unique across the cluster
clients and between the MCT peer RBridge IDs. To configure the local RBridge, enter the
following command.
BigIron RX(config-cluster-TOR)# rbridge-id 1
Syntax: [no] rbridge-id <id>
The <id> variable specifies the RBridge ID. Possible values are from 1 through 35535 (16-bit
value).
3. Create a session VLAN by entering the following command.
BigIron RX(config-cluster-TOR)# session-vlan 4090
Syntax: [no] session-vlan <vlan-id>
The <vlan-id> variable specifies the VLAN range. Possible values are from 1 through 4090.
In addition to dynamic check, a check is made during the cluster deployment to validate if the
cluster session VLAN uses the default VLAN ID. The default VLAN cannot be a defined cluster
session VLAN.
